Under the contract labor law of

it necessary to rase the scales from

been sorely pressed for miners tor

A bold scheme of engineering,
says the Railway Age, is that of
tunneling the Rocky Mountains
under Que of their highest peakes,
tor a distance Of 25,O feet, or
nearly tive'miles. 1t is claimed
that this work, if accomplished,
would shorten the distance between
Denver and Salt Lake City nearly
300 miles, and it is asserted that
considerable capitol has been raised
in England for the undertaking.

ANMisnamed Farmers Allianc.

ANMlsnamed Farmers Alllanc'
minneapolis Daily Tribune.)
The Farmers Alliance" is at
present holding what purports to
be national convention in Mime
spolis. Our condensed report this
morning of Yesterdays proceedings
d oes faint justice to scenes and al
tercations that beggars description.
Itwas truly a monkey and parrot"
time. The disagreeing brethren
hurled at one another such appela-
tions as ''liar," ''horse-thief,"
"low-liyed crank, " etc, with free
dom that throws considerable light
upon the weight that should attach
to their charges against people
outside their lovely and harmoni-
GUS organization. Their President,
Mr.. Streeter, of Illinois, had taken
advantage OF the opportunity given
himthe night before by the knights
of Labor, to insult Minneapolis and
malign its business men. He had
ranted in stupid malice and dence
ignorance, denounceing tho men
who have created Northwestern
prosperity. The so-called Farm
ers' Alliance" is an organization
that includes only an intinltesimal
fraction of the farmers OF the Uni
ted States or of the West, and that
embraces in its membership very
few men who are representative
farmers. 1t has done little to win
public respect, for it has not been
conducted with dignity or ability.
This may sound harsh, but it is
true. With men of such calibre as
Streeter and Barrett at It's head,
the organization can never flourish.
Mindful of the fact that Prot A
d. Wallace, took occasion to state in
presence of three gentlemen OF
White Oaks, that the "Farmers AL
lance had made serious mistake
in the selection OF their Organ in
this county, and that he (Wallace,) }
was fearful that, it would greatly
retard the progress of the order.
We are therefore inclined to think
that the "bretherin" will not wait
untll our next tall nominating con-
ventions before they commence
hurling at one another, "horse
theft" and "your another"
The LEADER has no doubt of the
fact that, many earnest well mean
ing men and good citizens have
been induced by fowery promises
and specious arguments into join
ing the "Alliance," honestly be-
lieving that if has merit and would
tend toward the improvement OF
their fellow-men and advance the
agricultural interests of the coun-
try. We do not doubt but what
the Northwestern Farmers ALI
ance," was first gottenup, upon just
such an idea. Who does not re-
member the grand hurrah, and the
promises of wonderful things to be
accomplished, when the embryo
Clncinnatus' got hold OF the ht I'm
of state, and how in the future all
the farmer would have to do, would
be simply, "hold down the middle
man"
Now whilst we do not know, nor
do we care whether the Lincoln
County's so-called Farmers ALI
ance," have got men possessing the
mental calibre OF Streeter or Bar
rett, we cannot see tor the life of
us, what they propose doing out
side of Bro. Wallace's instructions
in relation to the "middle man, y

y young Brahmin, visiting England, OK
pressed his astonishm ent at her advanced

an enlightened Englislman, that India

him a resume Of the underlying causes of
modern civilization. and concluded as fol-
lows: In addition. your women are chill
dren ever to old age, and do not stimulate

women shared with men every opportunity

achievement,
Let our young girls be encouraged TO ac-
quaint themselves With the great questions
that engage the attention Of our govern

their bearing Oh the failure Of the nation.
Great moral principles underlie them all,
talk with them about the wrongs that
should be righted, the great reforms that
are battling with injustice, the needed leg
islation that is pending and slowly pro-
crossing. These matters can be made as

HANGED, BUT NOT DEAD.
Remarkable Escape of Bill Langley
From the Gallows.

From the Gallows.
A Fort Worth (Tex.) special says: Camp
bell Langley. the father of the once noto-
rious and not yet forgotten Bill Langley,
removed to Bell county, Tex, from near
Lexington, Lee county, Tex, twelve years
ago During his residence in Lee and Bell
counties he has been known as a well-to-do
farmer and an upright citizen. Campbell
Langley to-day tells story to some of the
leading citizens Of Bell county, which, but
for his well known Christian character,
would be put down as the widest fiction.
He says that his son, Bill Langley, who
was publicly hanged twelve years ago, in
Giddings Lee county, by Sheriff Jim Brown,
in the presence of several thousand people,
was not hurt at ALL but was allowed TO es-
cape The father says when the Supreme
Court and Governor refused to intervene in
Bills behalf, a rich uncle in California came
to the rescue with "a 900, with which he so
worked upon the sympathy of the Sheriff
charged with the execution of the sentence
that the friends of Bill were permitted to ar
range things so that when the drop fell the
weight of the body fell upon an iron hoop,
supported by an appropriate body harness in
such q manner that he escaped physically
unhurt. When he had drawn his legs up
and down two or three times, the attending
PhyslCiah PI ohouuOou MN uobu, anu he was
turned over to his friends for interment.
The coffin, which was actually buried, con-
tanned nothing but stones. While the last
sad rites were being pronounced, Bill Lang
ley was well ON his way out of the country.
He has been living since his supposed execu.
ton in Nicaragua, where he is a leading
citizen, and one of the largest owners and
cattle herders in Central America.
Those who know Campbell Langley do not
hesitate to believe his story. which he now
makes public only because Sheriff Brown,
who officiated at the supposed execution,
died in Lee county last week.

Tom Harrity's Lucky Slug.
From the San Francisco Post


Speaking of superstitions," said the
Judge, 1--WE used to have queer lot of them
in early days. Off in the camps we were worse
than sailors, and you know a sailor is as full
of superstitions as sheep is of ticks. 1t
was hardy miner that would have started
out on a prospecting tour on Friday
Some of the boys laughed at the idea, but
they obeyed it as religiously as the next
one.
'''There amt nothin' in it, old Shorty
Forbes; used to say, but there mout be-
Ther'ain't no use o. riskin' your luck, if you
got any, and anyways Saturday is just as
good day as you can find.'
Most of the boys had lucky stones or
something that answered for 'em. Gener-
ally they were medals or lockets they had
brought from home They were supposed
to have in them some of the good wishes of
the folks they had left behind. Some
times it was slug that had often turned the
luck at the gambling table. Tom Har-
rity, who usually went as Hairy Tom, had
an old battered $50 slug that he used to tell
wonderful lies about.
There might a been something in it,"
unused the Judge. II don't know. Least
ways, Tom never lost it, He never played
ituntil he got dead broke. but it always
brought the dust. He wouldn't have taken
$500 for that slug One day he paid it out
by mistake in settling for an outfit, and by
George you ought to have seen that camp
hum when he found it out. The fellow had
gone, and it took Tom half day to find out
which road he had taken. Well, he chased
that fellow half way to Sacramento, but you
bet he got him. He pursuaded the fellow to
swap the lucky slug for two Others by stick
ing six-shooter under his nose. Twas a
pretty good trade for the fellow, too, let
alone the six-shooter business, for the
slug mighn't have been so lucky with him
Leastways, I've never heard of 1t since Tom
died
''Still, you can't tell as TO that There
was young fellow came into camp, and he
was fresh one The second night he was
there he steered into the Bucking Tigar sa-
loon and run up against the tiger itself 1t
took him about half an hour to put 500 in
to the bank, and as that was his last cent he
looked mighty pale about the gills. Tom
took in the situation, and hauled out his six
shooter and his slug. He tossed the slug on
the table
% Play that, young fellow he said, 'an'if
you loose it, d-n you I'll blow the hull top
of your head off.
"He played it and won.
"Play it again, said Tom, lowering the
hammer to half cock the hull pile
"'Play it again, he ordered, when the sec
ond trial resulted happily.
st won again.
"'Once more ordered Tom.
at won for the fourth time
"'Gimme that slug said Tom. Now
git! and don't ye look at a card again as
long as you live Ye amt got any luck
He dropped the slug beck into his pocket.
and the young fellow left camp next morn
